Amazon SQS Batch API actions
In the 2009-02-01 API version of Amazon SQS, only one action—ReceiveMessage—supports batch processing, i.e., processing more than one message with a single call. With the 2011-10-01 API version, Amazon SQS adds batch functionality for sending messages, deleting messages, and changing message visibility timeout values. To send up to ten messages at once, use the SendMessageBatch action. To delete up to ten messages with one API call, use the DeleteMessageBatch action. To change the visibility timeout value for up to ten messages, use the ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch action.
To use the new batch actions, you must use either the Query API or a Software Development Kit (SDK) that supports the new batch actions. Check your specific SDK's documentation to see whether it supports the new Amazon SQS batch actions. The Amazon SQS console does not currently support the batch API actions.
For details and examples of the three batch API actions, go to the Amazon Simple Queue Service API Reference:
Maximum Message Size for SendMessageBatch
You can send a message as large as 65,536 bytes (64 KiB) with SendMessageBatch. However, the total size of all the messages that you send in a single call to SendMessageBatch cannot exceed 65,536 bytes (64 KiB).
